Martha Karnopp, a Candidate for County Commissioner in Arapahoe
District 3
My goals as your County Commissioner are to:
* Strengthen public safety
* Empower citizens through effective government services
* Cultivating sustainable communities
People often ask me what do the County Commissioners do? They are responsible for many areas of government which affect people's daily lives. The Board of County Commissioners is responsible for:
* Providing appropriate court and jail facilities for the administration of justice
* Maintaining roads and bridges, including snow removal, for public safety
* Administering federal programs like TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families), Medicaid and other programs to assist the poor in moving out of poverty
* Overseeing the Clerk and Recorder's office in maintaining fair and accurate elections and accessible public records
* Overseeing the Sheriff's department in controlling crime and protecting the rights of citizens
* Overseeing the Assessor's office in fairly determining property values
* Overseeing the Treasurer's collection and spending public money
* Overseeing the Coroner's office in maintaining high standards in the investigation of deaths.

Note from the Founder and President:
"I am very proud to be a part of an organization that sees the benefit of business leaders gathering in support of each other. The Southlands community has grown to a charming shopping and entertaining district.
We have the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle that our community has given us. Our business owners believe in the success of the Southlands area so much that they have sacrificed time and money to hang their hats in our area. Let's support them by shopping in their stores, eating at their restaurants and offering a kind work of appreciation for the future they all bring to our community."
